Veterans Stories From The Community
Veterans who connect with At Ease HQ often share how community, mentorship, and guidance helped them navigate after service
As a veteran, dealing with the VA disability process can be frustrating and confusing if you try to do it on your own. I’m grateful I was connected with Henry because he really helped guide me through everything. From the beginning he took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and make sure I understood what steps needed to be taken.

If you’re a veteran trying to navigate the VA disability system and need someone knowledgeable and reliable in your corner, I definitely recommend working with Henry. Having the right person helping you makes a big difference.
— Terry , Navy Veteran
Being a part of At Ease HQ showed me the range of support within the Veteran community needed. There are Active Duty members getting ready to discharge trying to plan their transition which comes with it's own set of needs, to Military Veterans whose wounds - mental and physical - begin to manifest in later age; who know little to nothing of the support they can receive. At Ease HQ aims to bridge that Gap for all Military Veterans and their families.

The semicolon represents the pause in our story- much like deployments in our lives. IGY6 means "I Got Your Six" a reminder that veterans always watch each other's back. The red 6 honors the brothers and sisters we have lost.
Empowering veterans worldwide.
